Notes

  • Fruit Variations: Swap the berries for other seasonal fruits like peaches, cherries, or blackberries.
  • Crunchy Layer: Add a layer of chopped nuts like almonds or pistachios between the layers for extra texture.
  • Vegan Option: Use coconut cream or a dairy-free mascarpone alternative, and swap the heavy cream for coconut cream.
  • Chocolate Twist: Add chocolate shavings or cocoa powder to the mascarpone mixture for a richer flavor.
  • Citrus Zing: Try adding orange or lime zest for a citrusy kick in the mascarpone filling
